The Buddhist temple of swayambhunath, situated on the top of a hill, west of Kathmandu is one of the most popular, holy and instantly and instantly recognaizable symbols of Nepal. The temple is colloquially dnown as the ‘monkey temple’ because of the large tribe of roving mankeys who guard the temple. Swayambhunath stupa is a golden spire crowning a conical woode hill. It is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in the Kathmandu Valley. It has a lofty white dome and a glittering golden spire that are visible from all sides of the valley.
